A few messages from some of my Welsh tutors & classmates: Pat has been kindly supporting me with emails & phone calls since I returned to London, & informed the rest of Osian's class of the sad news: "Shwmae pawb I am writing with sad news. Jeanette went to London as her mother was not well. Unfortunately she died last night. Peacefully, apparently according to the hospital. Jeanette just asked me to let you know. She is fine and glad she had a couple of weeks with her Mum. Obviously she will be busy sorting things out with her brother. Hope the rest of you are well Hwyl am y tro Pat" "...Frank (Sylfaen group) sends his condolences. Ask me pass the message on as didn't want to bother you. You know where I am if you need me Pat" "Dear Jeanette, Pat just emailed us about your mum. It was odd because I was just about to email you about your mum. I had been thinking about her over the past few days. I am so terribly, terribly sorry about the news. I can imagine that was a terrible shock for you and your brother. I know you are very close to your mum and also your brother. It will seem bewildering. I don’t know if she had any underlying health issues but I know she had a fall and I am so sorry to hear things deteriorated after that. Even when people are frail or have an illness, it is always such a shock. And mother’s are very special aren’t they. I’m sure you are busy sorting out a lot of stuff but just to say that if you need any help with anything or just a coffee /lunch in London….we are here in Herne Hill for another week I think. Will be thinking of you, Jeanette at this terribly sad time. Sian " "Hi Jeanette, So sorry to hear about your mum. Cofion cynnes. Paul" "Prynhawn da Jeanette, My condolences to you and your family. I didn't know your mum had a fall, I am so sorry. I hope she wasn't in too much pain ? I am glad she passed peacefully and wasn't on her own though. I hope you have some lovely memories of your mum and cherish them deeply. Your pictures are beautiful. If you would like to meet up or want a chat please let me know. My mobile no.

It’s heart-breaking that you’ve lost your Mum. I’ve looked at some of your photos too and she looks so lovely, you will always have those special memories of her. I hope you and brother realise you did your very best, and were getting ready to have her home under your care. May she rest in peace. Take care, and see you soon. Judith" "Prynhawn da Jeanette, Thank you for your email. I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your Mum. She sounded like such a lovely lady and I always enjoyed hearing you speak about your childhood. Thank you for sending the photographs, your Mum looks so happy and healthy in them and you are very much like her. It is such a difficult time when you lose a parent and always a shock, no matter how well you think you are prepared for the news. As you know I lost my Mam in February 2020 to breast cancer and still can't believe it sometimes so I understand your loss totally. If you need anything, please let me know. Thinking of you and hope to see you soon. Cofion cynnes, Louise" (my Mynediad & Sylfaen tutor) "Hi Jeanette, I’m so very sorry to read this. Please feel free to pop in for some ‘normality’ if you wish. Sending my sincerest sympathy to you. Angharad " (Summer Revision Tutor) "Bore da Jeanette Diolch am y neges. Mae’n ddrwg gen i am eich colled. Cymerwch ofal Richard" (Duolingo Welsh Tutor)
